Hi @kbendick, thanks for your answer. Yeah there is support for geospatial data in Trino ( [trino geospartial func](https://trino.io/docs/current/functions/geospatial.html) ) and spark have now a major projet supported by apache ( [Apache Sedona](http://sedona.apache.org/) ) and the problem is that, ever time you want to process a massive dataset stored in binary, you have to translate it from binary to geometry and then process it. On the other hand, I think that storing a geometry in a binary format is more exchangeable between systems and allow more flexibility... -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
